Masses of large, semi-double, fragrant, white flowers, from July to September, occasionally followed by spherical, red, rose-hips. This popular and reliable shrub rose is perfect for a mixed or shrub border in sun or partial shade. Best on fertile, moist, well-drained soil, the delicate paper-like blooms make elegant cut-flowers.Please note : All our roses have had a summer prune to tidy them up so they will not be in flower when you receive them.Please note : All our roses have had a summer prune to tidy them up so they will not be in flower when you receive them.Garden care: Before planting shorten thick roots to 25cm (10in) and reduce top-growth to an outward-facing bud 20-30cm (8-12in) above ground-level. Plant during a frost-free spell, incorporating well-rotted organic matter and a balanced fertiliser into the planting hole. Ensure that the 'bud union' (the bulge at the base of the shoots) is 2.5cm (1in) below the soil.All our roses are field grown. In October/November they are dug up and potted. However, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when winter planting. Some suppliers send out 'bare root' plants unpotted, but we don't as it is easier to manage them on the nursery in pots.
